My Friend Ron Carlson Goes Home to Jesus

Ron Carlson, our dear friend and fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, and the founder of Christian Ministries International, went home to be with our Lord last week. Our hearts go out to his wife Marge and his sons Jared and Jason. Ron was an expert in the cults, and we’re happy that his sons plan to continue their father’s work.

I spoke with Ron at a conference just last month. We hugged, and he was as vibrant and servant-hearted as ever. At one point during his message, the audience was touched by his deep love for Mormons as he choked up sharing about how they were deceived and of his desire for them to know the one true God, the living Christ.

For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. (2 Cor. 4:17-18, ESV)

If you’ve been impacted by our resources, we invite you to make a year-end gift before December 31. It’s the generous support of our ministry partners that enables us to continue our eternity-shaping work.

However, we’re here to serve everyone without cost, so please don’t feel obligated to give, but only as the Lord directs. As Jesus said, “Freely you have received, freely give” (Matt. 10:8).
